A Secret Affair Before Marriage

Next up: He Says I'm a Gardenia. Faux siblings

Su Nian Ning was born into a wealthy family. With two older brothers shouldering the family's burdens, all she had to do in life was eat, drink, and have fun.

Dating handsome men was her idea of fun.

One day, she brought home a man named Yan Zhou.

Yan Zhou's background was a mystery. He was aloof and indifferent to everything, but had a handsome, refined face.

Su Nian Ning treated his past like a puzzle in a game, enthusiastically trying to solve it.

After a while, she lost interest in solving it. All she wanted was to see him fall for her.

So she coaxed and tempted him with her words, urging him to put in a little more effort.

A night of passion, with no thought for tomorrow.

When her family made it clear that she had to get married as soon as she graduated, she dumped Yan Zhou.

Later, Su Nian Ning's mother took her to meet a potential match.

Rumor had it that he was ruthless and decisive, and didn't spare even his own family. The elders of his clan went out of their way to avoid him.

At the meeting, Su Nian Ning suddenly seemed a little awkward. Her mother smiled and explained to the man, "My Nian Nian is reserved, shy, and slow to warm up. Give her a little time, and she'll come around."

With every new adjective, Jiang Yan Zhou's smile grew wider.

Su Nian Ning knew her comeuppance had arrived.

One hot, sweaty night.

Jiang Yan Zhou hovered above her, staring straight at her with a smile.

"Nian Nian, don't you like it this way?"

"I'm the one you taught yourself, after all."

"You and I are perfect together."

[We fell in love today, and we have countless tomorrows ahead]

Happy ending

Reading note: Both leads are virgins. The heroine has dated before, but the hero hasn't.

Next up: He Says I'm a Gardenia

[Faux siblings]

Yun Zhi was pushed onto the bed, her long, ink-black hair spread out like seaweed.

Gu Yu Bai wore a cool, impassive expression as he hooked a finger under the belt tied around Yun Zhi's waist.

"Brother, don't do this." Yun Zhi reached out to stop him. "You're about to get engaged."

Gu Yu Bai gave a cold laugh. "So what?"

When Yun Zhi was six, she was adopted by the Gu family of the capital. From a pitiful orphan who had lost both her parents, she was transformed into a phoenix soaring above the branches.

The Gu family had a son, Gu Yu Bai. He was unruly and gifted, with a handsome, refined appearance.

Yun Zhi was about the same age as Gu Yu Bai. Ever since they were children, he had loved teasing her: tugging her braids one day, stealing her doll the next.

As she grew older and entered her teens, a boy from her class gave her a love letter. Gu Yu Bai snatched it away and beat the boy up. His reputation spread far and wide, and from then on, no boy at school dared even look her in the eye.

Just before she started college, Gu Yu Bai took her to see the aurora. They never saw it, but something happened between them that they could never take back.

Yun Zhi should have hated Gu Yu Bai with all her heart. Yet on the lonely nights she spent adrift overseas, she would think of the rare moments when his eyes softened with tenderness, as he tucked the long strands of hair from her temples behind her ears.

"Yun Zhi, you're like a gardenia. When you bloom, all the moonlight falls in love with you."
